The Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association is an internationally based association of Master Masons who have joined together to share our love of motorcycling.

Our purpose is to

1.) Introduce the sport of motorcycling to our Masonic Brethren and their families.

3.) Support our Blue Lodges by being active in our lodges through attendance and by participating in lodge events.

4.) Provide relief to the Widows and Orphans of our Masonic Brethren

The Widows Sons are not a gang or 1% club.

We are a association of Master Masons who have gathered together for fellowship as we enjoy a sport we share a common interest in.

As Master Masons we are always mindful to present a positive image of Freemasonry when riding together, and to actively support our lodges through regular attendance, and by assisting in various lodge activities.

Throughout our organization, many of our members have served our fraternity as Worshipful Masters, Line officers, and even some have faithfully served as officers in their Grand Lodges or served on various Grand Lodge committees.

As the sport of motorcycling has been receiving an increased popularity within the media and general public, the Widows Sons often have the opportunity to help raise Masonic awareness through our participation in various public events, charity runs, and parades.
